Yes I keep a daily diary or journal. My mother was diagnosed with cancer two years, and i am her sole caregiver, and I keep a journal on our every day trials.
Later in my life, I hope to be able to go back and revisit my days with my best friend. I will always treasure the times with my mother

I constantly try to keep up a journal. It is difficult to make the time and sometimes I godays without an entry. But when I do write it does help me wrap up the whole day. It helps me release any fustration from the day. But if only I hade more time to keep up on it.

I feel journaling is totally worth it. We never know what life has in store for us. Let's say as you grow older your memory starts to fade, if you kept a journal (whether it be daily, monthly, yearly) you would at least be able to read it and hopefully recall the things you wrote about. If you can't recall it at least your children or other family would still be able to read it and learn all about you. It is basically like doing a photo ablum, only it is written totally in words. I write in mine whenever the need arises.

I keep a journal that I write in a few times a week and sometimes every day. I only use this journal to log the happy moments in my life. So whenever I am feeling down or whatever I can go back and look at all the things that have made me happy.

I have a LiveJournal, but I certainly don't use it to the effect you should use a journal and vent, etc. Other people read my journal, so sometimes I don't want people knowing my innermost thoughts. I mainly use my journal to tell what I did that day or whatever. Or talk about a concert I went to.
I should probably get a real journal sometime, haha.

I don't do it daily, only when I am stressed out and have to vent or when something really great is happening in my life. This is less pressure than doing it everyday and helps me stick with it long term.

No, I don't keep a daily journal. I wish I could make myself do so. Writing out your feelings each day is the best form of therapy one can get in my opinion. I just don't have the dicipline to do it.

i used to, and i'd like to get back to it again, but i can't seem to find the time yet. writing journals is a good brain exercise, it destresses you, too. my journal is one place i feel so at home.

I agree with you. I want to keep one so bad, but I just can't find the time to. I thought maybe if I started an online blog, I might do it more often. Who knows!!

instead of turning your computer on open your journal lol just joking, best time is right after your last meal of the night and before you go to bed.
